<div class=ts54p13><span class="ft5p54">Also the StartDate and StartTime properties may be </span></div>
<div class=ts54p14><span class="ft5p54">influenced by the EmployGMT property. If EmployGMT is </span></div>
<div class=ts54p16><span class="ft5p54">True, the export routine will add (or subtract) the necessary </span></div>
<div class=ts54p17><span class="ft5p54">number of hours to make the StartDate and StartTime </span></div>
<div class=ts54p18><span class="ft5p54">correspond to GMT. When a schedule is loaded with this </span></div>
<div class=ts54p19><span class="ft5p54">property also set to true, the calculation will be done in reverse, based on the time zone </span></div>
<div class=ts54p21><span class="ft5p54">of the computer performing the load. For example, if an appointment at 2:00 PM is </span></div>
<div class=ts54p22><span class="ft5p54">saved on a computer in the Eastern Standard Time (EST), which is GMT &#150;5 hours, the </span></div>
<div class=ts54p25><span class="ft5p54">saved file will have 7:00 PM for its StartTime property. This is because at 2:00 PM EST </span></div>
<div class=ts54p27><span class="ft5p54">it is 7:00 GMT. Now this file is sent to California, which is Pacific Standard Time (PST) </span></div>
<div class=ts54p28><span class="ft5p54">or GMT &#150;8 hours. When loaded the 7:00 PM file setting will be converted to 11:00 AM. </span></div>
<div class=ts54p31><span class="ft5p54">So the west coast user will see that this appointment starts at 11:00 AM local time, </span></div>
<div class=ts54p33><span class="ft5p54">which is correct. This is the same as 2:00 PM EST for the east coast user. If the </span></div>
<div class=ts54p34><span class="ft5p54">EmployGMT property is False (default value), the time loaded and saved will be exactly </span></div>
<div class=ts54p35><span class="ft5p54">as it appears on the schedule. </span></div>
<div class=ts54p37><span class="ft5p54"> </span></div>
<div class=ts54p38><span class="ft5p54">Notice that each element is described by its tags. The schedule uses these tags to save </span></div>
<div class=ts54p40><span class="ft5p54">and load information into the correct elements. The language is a simple markup </span></div>
<div class=ts54p41><span class="ft5p54">language. It conforms for the most part to the XML standard. It differs in that you cannot </span></div>
<div class=ts54p42><span class="ft5p54">add a data definition template header. However since the software is creating the files </span></div>
<div class=ts54p44><span class="ft5p54">and not the user, this should not be a problem. The markup language is all that is </span></div>
<div class=ts54p45><span class="ft5p54">needed for the uses of this scheduling software. To create an application that can read </span></div>
<div class=ts54p46><span class="ft5p54">or save a &#148;gcf&#148; (Gravitybox Calendar File) file, its file format must be used. The code </span></div>
<div class=ts54p48><span class="ft5p54">below defines all the collections saved in the file. If this code were saved to a file, it </span></div>
<div class=ts54p49><span class="ft5p54">would load successfully, however there would be no data loaded. </span></div>

<div class=ts54p80><span class="ft5p54">The order of loading is determined by how the file is organized. If the Categories </span></div>

<div class=ts54p83><span class="ft5p54">manually modified, it will be loaded as it was saved. The procedure for saving is as </span></div>
<div class=ts54p84><span class="ft5p54">follows: Rooms, Categories, Providers, NoDropAreas, and ScheduleItems. </span></div>
<div class=ts54p87><span class="ft5p54"> </span></div>
<div class=ts54p88><span class="ft7p54">Quick Tip </span></div>
<div class=ts54p90><span class="ft8p54">If you are distributing schedules to </span></div>
<div class=ts54p91><span class="ft8p54">people in other time zones, you may </span></div>
<div class=ts54p92><span class="ft8p54">use Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). </span></div>
<div class=ts54p93><span class="ft8p54">This will ensure that time differences </span></div>
<div class=ts54p94><span class="ft8p54">are not lost. </span></div>
